Privacy Audit (15–20 min)

Permissions clean‑up
Camera, mic, location, contacts. Set to Ask Every Time for apps that don’t need always‑on access. Remove SMS access unless critical.
Ad & tracking controls
Reset advertising ID, limit ad personalization, disable app‑to‑app tracking where offered. In browsers, block third‑party cookies and enable tracking protection.
AI assistant review
Check voice history retention, delete stored audio, and opt‑out of training where available. Review hot‑word triggers if you rarely use them.

Guides: AI Features Explained

Photo cleanup & scene detection

Modern cameras recognize scenes (food, night, sports) and adjust settings on the fly. Disable scene optimization if colors look unnatural, or keep it on for convenient results.

Spam call & SMS filtering

Enable OS‑level filters first, then add carrier filters if offered. Mark spam consistently — the model learns over time.

Keyboard predictions

Predictions adapt to your style. If suggestions feel off, clear learning data in the keyboard’s settings and start fresh.

FAQ

Do I still need antivirus if I use the app store?
Store vetting helps, but it’s not perfect. AV adds web protection, phishing detection, and extra checks for sideloads and malicious sites.
Will AI features drain my battery?
On‑device models are efficient. Cloud‑heavy features may use more power; restrict background use and disable features you don’t need.
What’s the fastest win for privacy?
Audit permissions and browser tracking, then enable auto‑updates. These three take under 10 minutes and cover the biggest risks.
